During a recent visit to NYC I saw an exhibit at MOMA entitled
"Thinking Print," a show featuring prints made by contemporary artists
from 1980-1995.
In a publication that accompanied the show, the print is defined as
"...a print is a work of art usually created on paper through the use
of a printing press." The publication features printing methods such
as woodcut, etching, lithograph, mezzotint and linoleum cut.
I was intrigued to find a series of Van Dyke brown prints (from
negatives) included in the exhibit. I had always thought that
processes such as Van Dyke brown or cyanotype were considered to be
photographs, not prints.
Any thoughts on this subject?
